Maddy is a sweet, gentle girl who's still learning that the world can be a safe place. She can be timid when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, so she's looking for a patient adopter who will let her settle in at her own pace and celebrate all the little victories along the way.
Once Maddy starts to feel comfortable, her personality begins to shine. In a quiet yard, she quickly relaxed enough to grab a stuffed toy, happily shake it around, and show off her playful side with a wagging tail. She also enjoys gentle affection, leaning in for soft chin scratches and calm pets from someone she trusts.
Maddy is still building confidence on leash and will need an adopter who is willing to go slow and help her continue making positive associations with new experiences. With kindness, patience, and a little time, she's sure to continue blossoming into the wonderful companion she's meant to be.
If you have a soft spot for shy dogs and would love the rewarding experience of helping one gain confidence, Maddy may be the perfect match for you.
Maddy has met other dogs at the shelter, she does best with socially savvy and gentle friends. She may need to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.
Come to BARCS to meet Maddy!
